Singer Grimes and Elon Musk Names New Baby ‘X Æ A-12’

Canadian singer, Grimes has confirmed that she and partner Elon Musk have named their newborn son, X Æ A-12.

The 32-year-old singer, who gave birth to couple’s first child on Monday, took to Twitter to reveal the meaning of their son’s bizarre name.

X [represents] the unknown variable,’ Grimes wrote, referring to the first letter of X Æ A-12’s name. ‘Æ is the Elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence),’ she stated.
The final symbol in the name, Grimes explained, is a reference the A-12 aircraft built for the CIA in the 1960s.

‘A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defences, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent,’ the star stated.

Grimes also added that A additionally stands for ‘Archangel’, ‘her favourite song’. She ended her tweet by sharing emojis of crossed swords and a mouse – writing ‘Metal rat’.
